Chapter 1994 [Shangxie] The Last Freedom
Then Lian Tang gave Xia Fuyi a reproachful look.
"Knowing that Your Majesty cannot tolerate the cold, why do you still open the window?"
Xia Fuyi was stunned and wanted to say something, but seeing Changsun Chi coughing non-stop, she stopped in her tracks with her head drooped and didn't dare to go over.
However, before Changsun Chi finished coughing, he glanced at Lian Tang coldly. Lian Tang immediately shut up and retreated with a sullen look on his face.
The door was closed, the sounds of wind and rain became quiet, and Chang Sun Chi's coughing gradually stopped. He looked up at the girl who dared not come forward, curled his lips and said hoarsely,
"come over."
Upon hearing this, Xia Fuyi looked up at him and walked over hesitantly. Changsun Chi pinched her wrist, pulled her to the table, and asked her to look at a memorial in his hand.
Xia Fuyi took a quick glance and saw that some minister was writing a long and eloquent speech against the enthronement of the queen. He mentioned many times in the article that he felt guilty towards the late emperor, which made people wonder if he was crying while writing.
Xia Fuyi didn't really care about these things, or rather, she didn't have a strong sense of reality until now. To her, the so-called honor of being the mother of a country was just a different way of staying by Changsun Chi's side. There was no essential difference from her previous guarding, but Changsun Chi looked very unhappy.
Slender fingers extended from his cloak and gently brushed the ink on the folder. The man said with a smile,
"Look at these people, as if I make you queen, my father will be so angry that he will jump out of the imperial mausoleum."
The faint smile in his eyes was like ice floating on the water, making people feel cold when they touched it, and the temperature was still dropping.
"Do you know why I want to make you my queen?"
He turned his head to look at Xia Fuyi.
Xia Fuyi shifted her gaze from the memorial and looked at him.
Those amber eyes had never been closer than at this moment. She could even see her own reflection in them. When being looked at like this, it was as if she were a treasure that was precious and carefully sealed away.
Xia Fuyi wasn't very good at choosing words, so she could only look away awkwardly, then reluctantly looked back and asked stiffly,
"Why?"
Chang Sun Chi smiled faintly, and his pale fingertips gently brushed the hair beside her ear, with a touch of tenderness and a touch of coldness.
"Because you only look at me."
"You will not be taken advantage of by anyone, and you will never betray me."
Because you are the last beauty and freedom I can reach.
There was a faint light in the man's eyes. He looked at Xia Fuyi and said quietly,
"I won't let any of them take you away from me."

Xia Fuyi didn't know how she should feel.
Since the night banquet, she has never left the Zichen Palace. Even when she went for a stroll in the Imperial Garden, she was always followed by a long group of palace maids and guards.
She was happy that she could continue to stay with Changsun Chi, but she was also depressed because of these constraints that she had never felt before.
The palace was decorated with red walls and golden tiles, and every corner was exquisite and stylish. Even the clothes worn by the palace maids were made of fine silk that ordinary people could not afford. The skirts embroidered with large flowers passed under the grass-leaf eaves, carrying the unique gorgeous atmosphere of the palace, but it made Xia Fuyi feel extremely depressed.
When Changsun Chi was in court, she mostly stayed by the window of the Purple Palace. Looking out from the palace, she could see the most magnificent view in the entire imperial city.
Those row of palaces and spacious squares, and the ministers who entered the Golden Throne Hall in two lines every day.
This is the center of the Chiwei Empire. All major events that can affect the country and even the entire Shenzhou Continent happen here, but Xia Fuyi cannot take a single step out.
